A working weekend.  Those of usIn retail understand.These tribulations would nonplusAnd vex me beforehand.But there are perks and benefits.For when most weeks begin,Some throw their Monday morning fits…While I get to sleep in.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Relaxing Ambient Space Music | Earth Orbit (2023), uploaded to YouTube by Planet […]

I listen now…  and don’t hear anything.This silence makes my heart and spirit sing.            For two weeks has my life been led            By water, wind and sound.            Today, the elements have fled;            No more can they be found.No more, God-willing, noise and flood to bring.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to the […]

It’s been a while since I came through this way…And yet, it seems not to have aged a day.Immortal, endless in its patient wait,Yet eager in its thirst for blood to sate.The ancient cycle once again begun;I must admit, I’m having too much funReplaying something I have played before,Remembering the future yet in store.                 […]

Cold tree rings made of paint and rust,For decades languishing in dust,Dragged place to place against their will,Mixed up and beaten, scraped…  untilAt last, we reach this blessed day.Corroded spirits drift away,Set free from animist décor(As I clean out another drawer).                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to 2 Hours Beautiful Arabian Music […]

What tragedy befalls us now?How can our deities allowSuch wanton suffering?  SomehowI pray our eyes deceive us.This endless war, it has to end.But who among us can we sendAgainst this foe?  We now contendWith villainy most grievous.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Victor Frankenstein (Music for a Darkened Theater) (2015), by […]

I must admit, from where I sit,This home that I selectedNot long ago is quite the show,But better than expected.And every day that comes my wayIs slightly more perfected.I only hope that I can cope,And not get too dejected.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Yamuna – Ancient World Fantasy Music (2023), […]

And now we, with both dread and glee,Return to harsh reality.So many wonders we did seeIndeed.  So far aboveOur expectations.  Yet we nowReturn to what the fates endow.For good or ill, we know somehowWe’ll make it through with love.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Shaolin Temple Meditation – Relaxation Music for […]
